FRIDAY Fl BRUARY Is 1887,
The weekly messenger., 1887-09-17

Mrs. Sarah Jackson died at the Iiermi-
tage, Tennessee, aged eighty-one, leav-
inS two children, Col. Andrew Jackson.
of West Point, who was an artillery Of
ficer in the late War on the Southern side
and made reputation, and Mrs. DIR. John
Lawrence. One son, Samuel, was killed
at Chicamagua in battle. Mrs. Sarah
jackson, now remembered by but few
people, was for four years or nearly
four years-the most prominent lady OF
the land, the mistress of the White
House. About the commencement of
Gen. Jackson's second term, his adopted
son, Andpew Jackson, Jr., married Miss
Sarah York. of Philadelphia, young
lady of accomplishments, of good family
and great personal beauty. The adopted
son, who was a nephew OF Mrs. Jackson,
brought his young bride to the White
House, where she was received by the
President, who was widower, Mrs.
Jackson having died after his first cleo
ton and before he became President.
She proved to be most devoted daugh-
ter and loving wife. Gen. Jackson was
a peculiar man. The loss Of his wife
four wears before had changed his whole
life. All his letters--letters to members
of the family and friends showing that
during his first term he was grieving over
his great loss. But when the time ex-
pired, the Old general came back
to the Hermitage. In time he died,
leaving to his son and the family a
fine estate. This was lost and the
family were in straitened circumstances.
The son died in 1867, and now the
once beautiful bride, the mistress of the
White Uouse-the old hero's greatest
comfort and solace in his old age-passes
away at the age of 81.

He Makes His Own Money.
From the Philadelphia Press.l


A little bit of aman, not five feet high,
stood on tiptoe in front Of the cashiers
window at the West End Hotel, Long
Branch. and timidly asked him for a
pair of scissors. When they were
handed to him he pulled a roll of nat
ional bank bills from his coat pocket
They we're in sheet form, Just as pos
tage stamps come, and he clipped OF
800 bill. He wrote his name across Its
face in the space reserved for the Presi-
dents autograph, and then cool!y asked
Cashier Kelcey To change 1t for him.
Mr. Kelley accommodated this maker
of currency after carefully inspecting
il and seeing that it was bona fide note
of n national bank in Michigan. The
little man with this enviable power as q
money maker was Mr.. Jacob Sellgman,
who is known through all Michigan as
"I.ittle Jake" He was the leading
clothing merchant of the State until he
became a banker anu railroad financier,
rs well as one Of t.e biggest lumber
merchants in that region. He is row q
millionaire, a director in nine banks and
the owner of considerable real estate in
Sault St. Marie region. Some people
saw he will be the richest man In the
State if he lives to realize on his invest
ments. Yet he went out to Michigan
twenty five years ago with only 500
in his pockets. He made his fortune
in strange way. In order to start in
the clothing business he obtained credit
for 500 worth of goods. He spent the
500 cash he had i'll hiring a wagon, a
brass band. and four horses, and invest
ING iii circulars and advertising. He
made it known that Little JAKE would
reach town at certain hour and dis
tribute socks and overalls free from his
wagon in the public square. He told
me to-day that he emptied his wagon
load to throng of people. scattering
over their heads at the same time a
perfect cloud of dodgers stating that he
! was going to sell them all sorts OF cloth
ing for the next month. For fifteen
years Little Jake followed this quaint
scheme for making himself known,
travelling from town to town until he
had store established in every inpor-
tant city in the State. He was not only
the biggest clothing dealer hit the
biggest newspaper advertiser rs well.
Since then he has made rapid strides
to become the biggest banker, bnt he Is
still the smallest man in the State W
size.

A Wonderful Ohio Gas Well.

A Findlay letter to an exchange says:
"1he noise Of the karg well can, be
Heard for a distance of ten miles, and
the pressure of the gas is eight or ten
times that allowed in steam boilers.
This pressure is regulated at the well,
but is remarkable even when noted at
the small gas-burner in private family.
The light must be turned on to suit the
taste. not with abandon, otherwise 1t
will Shoot up foot OF SO. In front OF
some of the real estate Offices burner
has been adjusted so that it blazes out
as part of a sign, and all over town clever
things have been done with the abund-
ant outflow from the wells. One of the
neatest devices is that upon a large pm
vate residence. Upon the tower Is q
flag staff, and up this pipe has been
conducted SO that when the gas is turned
on at night and lighted a streamer OF
flame floats from the peak of the staff
far above the house. 1t may be that
this streamer is faunted night and day.
1t has not been extinglnshed since the
present celebration began. There is no
need fer weathercocks in Findlay. The
futtering tongues Of fire at different
points show how the wind blows. AS
yanes they are admirable.
Curious things which seem to have
attracted no attention outside the town
occurred when natural gas was first dis
covered here After the great karg well,
claimed by some tn be the largest i'll the
country, was sunk. its great outrush OF
gas was for a long time wasted. The
owners of the well hardly knew how to
manage it. The flow was struck i'll jan
uary, and all through the winter and
int the summer that pillar OF flame
burned day and night The heat pro-
duced WAS intense, and it was ont of the
question for any one to approach near
the fire. The result was the creation OF
what may by bull he called an outdoor
hot-house. One could start for the well
early Ill February, wading through crisp
snow, and rs one approached the place
! the snow would become thinner and
would finally disappear, giving place to
1 short grass. which at point nearer the
flames WAS knee-deep, gradually decreas
| ing in hcalthfulness and brightness as
! the heat became more intense. Trees
/ situated near the well were leafing il
/ February, and flowers bloomed Mt one
or two spots. The flowers, though, had
little opportunity for blooming. Al
/ through the winter the vicinity of the
well was resort for tramps, and they
could he seen any night in the snowtimt
living within the radius of heat, resting
/ placidlv with their feet to the well ant
their faces to the sky, a phenomena
spectacle for the season.
